Description

Pipeline steel pipe ring-welded joint softening fit usability evaluation method based on bending strain
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of welding use evaluation methods, in particular to a soft fit usability evaluation method for a pipeline steel pipe ring welded joint based on bending strain.
Background
Welding is a typical unbalanced heating and non-uniform cooling process, where the weld metal solidifies from a liquid state and undergoes an overall solid phase transformation, resulting in a relatively uniform microstructure. However, the welding HAZ region is very complex due to the difference in distance from the weld puddle, resulting in temperature variations during cooling and formation of a non-uniform tissue region with a gradient. For example: the HAZ region is a fusion region (solid-liquid two-phase region), a super-heated region (coarse-grain region), a fine-grain region (normalizing region or fully recrystallized region), a critical region (incomplete recrystallized region) and a subcritical region (recrystallized region) in this order from the welding fusion line position to the outside of the general low-alloy high-strength steel in a rolled state. Each sub-region of the HAZ may be narrow, but may be of disparate organization type and performance and may be the source of preferential failure in a variety of complex service environments. At a temperature of phase transition A c1 In the subcritical region at or above the finish rolling temperature, the base metal in the rolled state is recovered and recrystallized. Although the structure type is not changed, the change of the crystal inner substructure and dislocation morphology can lead to the weakening or disappearance of the rolling deformation strengthening effect in the original state of the steel, and the macroscopic appearance is a certain degree of softening. For high emphasisIn the HAZ region where the peak temperature of the welding heat cycle is higher than the original tempering temperature, the steel also experiences joint softening. Other, such as deformation-strengthened aluminum alloys, have more severe post-weld HAZ softening and are difficult to meet with joint strength without post-weld heat treatment.
In recent years, various industrial fields have had failure cases of in-service structures due to softening of welded joints. For example: in the field of oil and gas transfer lines, breaks in unpredictable longitudinal strain service environments due to joint strength mismatch and HAZ softening occur sequentially in north america and australia. Cracks generally originate in the weld toe region and propagate toward the weld metal or HAZ softened region, and, from the fracture characteristics, are a distinct ductile fracture. While not causing catastrophic accidents, economic losses and social negative effects are not negligible. Post-weld joint softening is an unavoidable inherent feature of structural steel materials, but not all softening can cause fatal damage, if the degree of softening is not severe, together with deformation strengthening (hardening) under tensile strain during service, post-weld joint softening may not adversely affect service of the overall welded structure. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the workability of joint softening of important structures, particularly welded structures subjected to tensile strain.
Petroleum and natural gas transfer lines are typically located in the field away from urban and populated areas. The topography and climate environment are complex and harsh, and particularly in the areas with frequent crust fluctuation, frequent geological disasters and large altitude change, the pipeline girth welding joint faces unpredictable longitudinal tensile load, and the probability of potential failure caused by joint softening is increased. In recent years, the design and manufacture of chemical components of pipeline steel pipes are also changed, and with the improvement of production line rolling and on-line cooling equipment and process capability, the trend of ensuring pipeline steel performance by reducing alloy elements and increasing rolling compression ratio is mainstream. Although the microstructure of the pipeline steel base metal is fully refined under the mature and stable process control condition, the overall performance is uniform and stable, and the tendency of softening the subcritical heat affected zone after the welding heat cycle is increased. How to evaluate the weld-after-weld softening of the pipeline pipe and the compliance under the potential tensile strain condition is a current problem to be solved urgently.
Currently, there are some patent documents related to post-weld joint softening of steel and other metallic materials. Such as: application No. 201280061292.9 discloses a steel for large heat input welding, application No. 200610160565.1 discloses a thick steel plate excellent in toughness and small in softening in a weld heat affected zone, application No. 200380107477.X discloses a high-strength steel plate excellent in softening resistance in a weld heat affected zone and good in hole-enlarging and edge-playing properties, and a method for manufacturing the same. The technology can realize the purpose of softening resistance of the welded joint through the optimal design of the chemical components of the steel, particularly the inhibition effect of the alloy elements on the softening of the joint after the welding heat cycle, but the application cost of the alloy elements is increased to a certain extent. Meanwhile, no report is made on the fit-to-usability evaluation of the degree of softening of the commonly and objectively existing post-weld joint. Application number 201610082273.4 discloses a high-strength and toughness steel plate for a crude oil storage tank with low welding crack sensitivity coefficient and high-temperature PWHT softening resistance and a manufacturing method thereof, and the steel plate can reduce the secondary heating softening of a joint in the welding occasion of the crude oil storage tank with the post-welding heat treatment requirement by combining a plurality of alloy systems.
Application number 201810257705.X discloses a method for reducing the softening degree of a laser welding joint of manganese steel in a high-strength plastic product, which mainly reduces the softening degree of the joint by means of reasonably setting welding process parameters, increasing forced cooling of a back weld joint, reducing the width of a heat affected zone and the like in the laser welding process, and belongs to the welding process adjustment category. Application number 201810312059.2 discloses a method and a device for resisting softening of an electroslag welding joint, which mainly spray compressed air to a part easy to soften in a heat affected zone in a welding process to perform directional cooling, shorten the high-temperature residence time after welding, and effectively reduce the softening of the joint. However, the technology is limited by tooling conditions, the implementation cost is increased, and the implementation and softening degree evaluation guidance effect of the on-site construction girth welding process of the pipeline steel pipe is not great. Application number 201310238270.1 discloses a method for improving the softening problem of a high-strength aluminum alloy welded joint, which mainly comprises the steps of carrying out solution treatment and artificial aging on the welded high-strength aluminum alloy joint, eliminating the softening problem of the joint and meeting the strength requirement of the joint. Application number 201810235277.0 discloses a method for reducing the softening of a deformation-reinforced aluminum alloy arc welding joint by mainly reducing the adverse effect of high-temperature welding thermal cycle on the softening of the joint by forced cooling of circulating water during the welding process. Application number 201810258602.5 discloses a method for rapidly determining the softening area of an Al-Mg-Si alloy welded joint, which is mainly used for rapidly positioning the softening area of the joint by a special metallographic etching method.
In summary, the current technology for softening a welded joint generally reduces the softening tendency of the joint in the welding process through the design of material components and manufacturing processes, or improves the softening behavior of the joint through the optimization of the welding process or the post-welding heat treatment for the existing materials, and does not relate to the evaluation of the inherent softening behavior of the joint, especially the fit-to-use evaluation in combination with the potential service environment.

In step 2, the criterion for the qualified bent sample is: if a crack exceeding 3mm in length is detected in the HAZ tensile face, the failure of the bent sample is judged.
In step 3, the dishing degree S at the maximum wall thickness is set R And side expansion rate E R Are each corrected to 1.2 times the minimum wall thickness.
In step 4, when I sof >1, it is shown that the ring welded joint does not significantly soften actually when I sof <1, it is shown that significant actual softening of the ring welded joint occurs.

degree of sag S of HAZ tensile face of qualified bending sample R And side expansion rate E R The method is characterized in that the method belongs to the related parameters of the thickness B of the sample and the radius R of the curved end of the pressure head, but takes the fact that the thickness B of the sample and the radius R of the curved end of the pressure head have definite quantity relationThus, the dishing degree S is only required to be based on the thickness B of the qualified bending sample R And side expansion rate E R In general, as the thickness B of the acceptable bending specimen and the radius R of the curved core at the curved end of the indenter are increased, the degree of actual strain experienced by the tensile face of the HAZ of the acceptable bending specimen is appropriately reduced, or the degree of conservation is reduced, so that the degree of sag S at maximum wall thickness is reduced R And side expansion rate E R All corrected to 1.0-1.3 times of the minimum wall thickness, the dishing degree S R And side expansion rate E R The correction factors for the wall thickness factors are defined as:i.e. corrected dishing S' R =B R ×S R Corrected side expansion coefficient E' R =B R ×E R Because of the dishing degree S R Is not greatly influenced by the width factor of the qualified bending sample, and the side expansion rate E R The width factor has been considered, so the dishing degree S R And side expansion rate E R The width factor of the qualified bent sample is not required to be corrected;
step 4, the concavity S 'corrected based on the thickness factor' R And side expansion E' R Bending strain and ring-welded joint softening dependence:
taking into account the preferential strain of the HAZ local softening area of the pipeline steel pipe ring welded joint and the local strain hardening behavior caused by the preferential strain, weakening or counteracting the initial welding softening influence, the qualified bending sample thickness B and the bending core radius R of the arc-shaped end of the pressure head to the dishing degree S R And side expansion rate E R Factors such as influence of different strength levels of materials on plastic deformation capacity in bending process, and the like, are integrated with analysis based on a large amount of test data, and the following sag S 'corrected based on thickness factors is established' R And side expansion E' R The bending strain and ring-welded joint softening dependence formula:
wherein I is sof The method is used for evaluating the actual softening degree of the welded joint when the welded joint bears a tensile load, not only considering the influence of the welding process on the softening of the welded joint, but also considering the counteracting effect of the strain hardening of the HAZ position on the initial softening state of the joint in the tensile load bearing process, and is very similar to the service state of the welded joint of the pipeline steel pipe ring; when I sof >1, it is shown that the ring welded joint does not significantly soften actually when I sof <1, it is shown that significant actual softening of the ring welded joint occurs.
